[jersey cubs fan]

Do you know who has been our best starter this year?

I don't know either but it might be me since I've had a couple 2-3 game streaks.

 

 

Jake was pretty pumped about that SF/WAS brawl, so maybe he'll take out the Cubs frustrations and trim the Hedges this afternoon (ifyouknowwhatimean).

 

 

anyway, we're fasting until the Cubs win again. no special gameday food

[The_Achiever]

Looking forward to the pads polishing off this sweep in style.

I'll be on the road back to Ohio during this one so I can basically pretend it's an off day

Least favorite game of the year.

 

We win, we still lost a series against the Padres and return home an average team that failed to build further separation from .500 that the 7-2 homestand had helped create. We lose, and well, we just got swept by one of the worst teams in baseball and really squandered our 7-2 homestand.

 

However, we did win the World Series in 2016, and that still makes us the big winner.

How long how long will the Cubs slide

Separate my side I don't

I don't believe it's bad

Slit my throat

It's all I ever

[ConstableRabbit]

Spit my dip into a paper cup

Lackey and dongs, he's givin them up

Face so long and he's chewing cud

The Cubs are on another slide

Jake is, of course, the kind of jerk who just has a disgusting, gigantic merkin of a bush.

jake shaves his arms

[Flames24Rulz]

Sure would be nice if Arrieta remembered he was good. Same goes for Russell, Schwarber, Rizzo, etc.

After that 7-2 homestand, I really don't want to give it away, give it away, give it away now

And then glues it all to his face and junk.

It's Californication

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Do we?:

1. Take an early 2-0 lead only to watch Jake give up a couple three-run bombs in the 4th and 5th innings, on the way to an 8-3 loss.

or...

2. Fall behind 3-0 after the first and lose 4-2.

lonely as I am, together we cry

This guy has a 5.61 ERA through 8 starts so of course we are going to get shut down by him. Schwarber strikes out helplessly...

Astros, hello

Well, of course we will. But it has nothing to do with his 5.61 ERA. It's because we get shut down by everyone.

[squally1313]

Is it totally meatball-y to say that in general baseball players coast along at like 70-80% effort in the regular season, and the Cubs, as world champs, are seeing everyone at 100%?

 

As you can clearly tell, I'm getting to the desperate rationalization point.
